three boards being furnished SO that there
can be shown the record of the TIVE preced-
ing market days, and the rates asked on that
market day, and the name of any person
desiring hay to be deiv cred, and the price
offered therefor.
A FREE MARKET.
That the hay market should be made us
free and open as possible to all buyers and
sellers, it is recommended that it be made
the duty OF the inspector to see that no one
is permitted to unduly Interfere between
seller and those wishing to purchase hay
and other articles, and that such inspector
and the weighmaster should be prohibited
from in any way being pecuniarily inter
ested In the purchase or sale of the articles
usually sold on the wholesale grounds. 1t
is due to the management of the Washing
ton Market Co to say that it seemed to this
board that endeavor had been made by that
company, as far as its authority weuld per-
NIT, to made the hay market as free and
open as possible under the the restrictions
surrounding its control, thecompany's pvlicy
evidently being to attract as large number
at that place Of those for whose use Congress
intended it as possible.
FACILITIES NEEDED,
This board in their Investigations of the
transactions In hay and straw have had
pressed upon their attention the lack of
needed facilities for farmers who bring other
and perishable products of their own raising
to market to sell in bulk. We therefore join
in the recommendation that such steps be
taken by the authorities of the District and
of the Washington Market Company neces-
sary to the erection OF such large nclosed
structures, where, in Indictment weather, farm
ers can take their products, and where, if
mo- demand be found ON that day, storage
facilities for one, two or more days can be
furnished at nominal expense, so that the
farmers may be saved from the necessity of
either taking the very low prices offered in
such emergencies, or of conveying their pro-
duce back to their homes Signed Chas II.

PROF. HAWKINS NOT GUILTY.
Prof John Il. Hand Elected School
Superintendent.

AT the meeting of the school board
Prof Hawkins case was further inves-
tigated. 1t was decided that the
charge of cruelty and brutally beating
Max Gosling was not sustained, but
Notwithstanding that, the Professor
was indiscreet in inflcting punish
ment with his hand andmust not do the
like again.
The board elected Prof. John T..
Hand, of Corsicanr,, superintendent.
The contest was close beteen Prof s
Stanbery and Hand. The salary is
$4,000 per annum, beginning June 1st.
Mr.. Hand is so well known that his
application was unaccompanied with
recommendations. lie is graduate
of the university of Georgia. lie came
to Texas in 1855 and founded Charm
wood Institute at Tyler, and was its
principal for seventeen years. From
1876 to 1879 he was professor of an
cient language. in the A. and NJ. col
lege at Bryan. Since he has taught
summer normal schools at different
places. If. Mr.. Stanbery had to go,
Dallas is particularly fortunate in Sc.
curing the valuable services of Prof.
Hand. The public schools the new
superintendent will find in good con-
dition. The schools sustain a high
reputation. Prof. Stanbery is not OH
ly an educator of the first order but is
conscientious in the discharge of his
duties.
